What humans will look like in 1,000 years

There will eventually be a day where prosthetics are no longer just for the disabled.

However, it’s not just our outside appearance that will change – our genes will also evolve on microscopic levels to aid our survival. For example, an Oxford-led study discovered a group of HIV-infected children in South Africa living healthy lives. It turns out, they have a built-in defense against HIV that prevents the virus from advancing to AIDS.

And with gene-editing tools like CRISPR, we may eventually control our genes and DNA to the point where we make ourselves immune to disease and even reverse the effects of aging.

Another way to jump-start the human evolution on a different path is to move some of us to Mars. Mars receives 66% less sunlight than Earth. Which could mean humans on Mars will evolve larger pupils that can absorb more light in order to see. And since Mars’ gravitational pull is only 38% of Earth’s, people born on Mars might actually be taller than anyone on Earth. In space, the fluid that separates our vertebrae expands, which led American aerospace engineer, Robert Zubrin to suggest that Mars’ low gravity could allow the human spine to elongate enough to add a few extra inches to our height.

However, not even a move to Mars could spark the biggest change in human evolution that we may have coming in the next 1,000 years: immortality. The path to immortality will likely require humans to download their consciousness into a machine. Right now, scientists in Italy and China are performing head transplants on animals to determine if you can transfer consciousness from one body to another. They claim their next big step is to transplant human heads.

Whatever happens in the next 1,000 years — whether we merge with machines or become them — one thing is certain: The human race is always changing — and the faster we change and branch out from Earth, the better chance we have of outrunning extinction.

Humans 1000 years from now: Men will evolve to having 2 penis but only 1 is functional when it comes to reproduction. Men of this era will have no problem having safe sex, if they're ready and want to start a family they can use the one that spits if not and just wants to bang thier girl they can use the dummy one and or both in the same time

I can probably correctly hypothesize that humans will still be: obnoxious, self-absorbed, trend followers on stupid unending social media networks, bullies that laugh at a person who brings a dictionary in print to school or college with him/her, and will still not give a care about a homeless person begging on the street, dropping pennies into the persons cup, instead of purchasing food for the person.

You know whats funny? an advanced AI would determine since it is more efficient to use chemistry to reproduce itself instead of mechanics and electronics. The eventualoutcome would be a biological system. Ha Ha what a monumental waste of time.

Can someone who understands evolution explain something to me? It was my understanding that the only way a trait could increase is through natural selection or sexual selection, if this is the case why would a trait like tallness or big pupils on mars increase (assuming the initial increase in tallness in the last 130 years is do to greater access to nutrition) in the modern world (or futuristic one), where it doesn't seem like these traits would greatly increase your chance of survival or mating opportunities???

We r not going to mars because it takes about 3 years to get there also we are not going extinct the earth around us is dying and we are not helping it which is really sad because u might not be alive when this happens but think about he people who will be please help me change the earth and help it stay alive by picking up as many pieces of rubbish refuse waste and telling ur friends

So...you just told us that people will live on mars,scientist will make human head transplants and that humans will be a litle bit taller....no shit Sherlock...we know these from 90's.... nice try btw;)

Unfortunately, your video is a bit wayward in its understanding of 'evolution'. Life doesn't adapt to its environment, the most suitable characteristics for that environment survive or comparatively thrive

well still we will die eventually because the sun overtime will swallow up the earth and also someday we wont have the moon plus global warming and ya don't get your hopes up :) have a nice day enjoy your lives and someday the earth will go bye bye lol

Umm... if we merged with robotics then at that point we would no longer be human. This is just a stupid Humanist video. 'OMG! We are killing Mother Earth! 😭 The only logical explanation is to become robots.'

Humans on Mars won't happen Even human survival outside of Earth would be hard. Species go extinct and thats okay, humans--homo sapiens-- cannot avoid extinction. Extinctions wipe out 70+% of the species on the planet, and we would definitely be included! But maybe these "evolving humans" can make progress in a shorter amount of time. Computers and technology will most likely be apart of "us", which can actually be scary and exciting. Being able to transfer consciousness seems like a cool plan (like in the 2017 film Get Out), but too bad most researchers initially keep these types of innovations private and not disclosed.... right away. Anyway, if I am not mistaken the next Mass Extinction is predicated to happen in less than 1000 years. Humans have been very destructive, causing this anticipated date to be much earlier than it naturally would. But in each new Era, further progress has been made. From the evolution of mammals came humans who were very successful and harmful to over 100,000 species that could have had beneficial roles to our planet. Hopefully in the next Era, we can have technological advances without being so disastrous.

3017, (current year of this comment: 2017) it is approximated humanity will have destroyed earth, used up all resources, and sent help signals to alien life, by the the time the SOS signal is returned to earth, mankind will be extinct (3517) if not sooner.

Unfortunately, Mars does not have enough of a magnetic field to ever become suitable for long-term habitation by sufficiently-complex lifeforms. Mars is, and will always remain, an irradiated wasteland.
